Frequently Asked Questions
What is adjusted body weight used for?
Adjusted body weight is used by clinicians to estimate medication dosing and nutritional requirements for people who are significantly overweight, since using actual body weight alone can overestimate needs for some medications and nutrients.
How is adjusted body weight calculated?
It starts with your ideal body weight (based on height and sex using the Robinson formula), then adds 40% of the difference between your actual weight and your ideal weight.
Is this the same as ideal body weight?
No. Ideal body weight is based only on height and sex. Adjusted body weight accounts for your actual current weight too, landing between your ideal weight and your actual weight.
Should I use this to dose my own medication?
No. This calculator is an educational reference only, not a substitute for professional medical advice. Medication dosing should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider or pharmacist.
